CBN 2026 Launch 4 March: Resilience Stories + Business INSIGHTS

Hi everyone,
I’m back on deck, feeling good and very grateful to still be here! 😊
Recovery has been a journey. I have about six months of healing and rehabilitation ahead, but forward is forward, even at a steady walking pace. Thank you for the many emails, messages and kind thoughts. They meant more than you know.
For now, the Blacktown City group resumes on 4 March at Workers Blacktown(see link below). Our other groups will continue to pause temporarily while I continue rehabilitation.
We have several 10-minute Business INSIGHT spots available. If you would like to showcase your business, please email me directly as soon as possible to secure your place in Wednesday’s program.
I will also share a short segment about the past five months, most of which were spent across four hospitals, including a post-discharge trip to Nepean Emergency with atrial fibrillation.
Not a recommended hobby after open-heart surgery! ☹ Thankfully, that chapter is now closed. There were also some surprisingly humorous moments along my journey, and I’ll share a few of those with you too.
Deferred from our November meeting, Charles Barnard will officially launch his new book: Forged: A Family, A Fabricator, and a Fight for the Future*— a story of resilience, leadership, and turning pressure into progress.*
The timing could not be more relevant. Many businesses are navigating tight cash flow and rising pressure. Charles’ book is a real-life account of what happens when the squeeze is on and what it truly takes to hold a business and a family together.
Join business coach and author Charles Barnard as he shares the lessons behind his Amazon best-seller and I share my re-birth!!
I look forward to seeing you on 4 March from 6.30pm in the Waratah Room at Workers Blacktown.

Best wishes to you all!
